towerofanimus | [01] || [Open]

Characters: Jr. and You!
Setting: Room 4-08/Dormitory Floor, Library, Cafeteria, Anywhere Else.
Format: Action to start but will match.
Summary: Junior wakes up in the tower and this story is seriously too stupid to be true. At least this is what he thinks and he set off to explore and find out who's behind this all. If only he knew...
Warning: An overpowered derp looking younger than he actually is. Aside from that, nothing so far.

• Room 4-08 / Dormitory Floor
[ Anyone entering room 04-08 will see what appears to be a kid reading the letters he got upon waking up in the tower. he's already clothed in his wannabe western attire of course, and holds a gun firmly in his hand as he reads-- Needless to say, anyone entering the room as he reads will get no less than a gun pointed at their face.

That and he doesn't believe for a second the story that his universe got destroyed. Like hell after all the word they had done specifically to prevent it from being destroyed.

... Or that would really be no luck. ]

Bah.

[ After a while inspecting the room and finding nothing of interest, he goes out and set to explore, starting by the dormitory floors. ]

• Library (Third Floor)
[ Before long the URTV stopped by the library floor and spotted one of these oh so useful network terminal. You know, the terminals everyone can use without any problems, even those who are not familiar with technology can learn with ease its use. And he comes from the far future. Good, a way as any to start getting information on this strange tower. He starts typing in when: ]

Wrong command input. Please try again.

Huh?

[ He sighs and types back on the machine. This time the terminal makes a loud, obnoxious error noise. The kind of noise you'd expect from an old version of Windows probably. No one knows how he manages to get that much fail from the machines. ]

Wrong command input. Please try again.

Ah come on now! What daya mean mean wrong command input?!

[ He sighs, types faster and annoyingly, only to worsen the result. ]

Fatal error. Immediate shutdown.

Wha--?

[ Suddenly the terminal shuts down completely after the warning appeared on the screen, not without noise. Add to that, a strange black smoke elevates from the terminal along with the smell of burnt computers.

And lo, the URTV is walking away discreetly, whistling as if nothing happened. It's not him who ruined the terminal, he swears. Really. ]

• Cafeteria (First Floor)
[ Have an URTV looking at his oatmeal with... Let's say a confused and wary look. Suspicious. This thing looks worse than anything the Elsa crew cooked before. He pokes at it with his fork.

...

Trying to smell it. ]

Man, why do all the weird places got to have poor quality food?

[ Bah. At least it's still looking better than the nutrition bars people around are eating. ]

• Anywhere Else
[ You will find a twelve years old looking kid walking throughout the tower in an attire way too reminiscent of old westerns, looking at the different stuff in the tower, poking at whatever useful things he might find (it's hard to believe he's actually older than he looks).

Oh and possibly addressing people to get some semblance of answer. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Right, and I'm Santa Claus.

[ Sorry Allen, but you're not funny. That and Jr. now looks around to see if Allen isn't using a stealth camouflage so to make it look as if he disappeared. ]

*Well, you've left him no choice. He rolls his eyes and Jr. will abruptly find himself being lifted two feet into the air.*

Wow wow wow!

[ Okay now that's weird. ]

The hell's that? Put me down!

*He lowers Jr. back to his feet and crosses his arms.*

Now do you believe me?

[ That's a case of yes and no. ]

Why would you have accepted to become a Testament?!

To protect Shion.

That much I had it figured out.

[ Your crush is a secret to nobody. ]

My question is more like why would you become a Testament to do that?

My other option was to move on after I died and leave her to Kevin.

Allen... What are you talking about...?

I told you, I died three years ago. I didn't make the choice while I was still alive.

You did not die three years ago! Allen, you were with us before I got transported to this tower!

Maybe in your universe. Where I'm from, I've never even met you face to face like this.

How is that possible? This has to be some kind of joke right?

The going theory is that it's possible for multiple Recurrences to meet here. It sounds crazy, but it's the only thing that can explain all of us.

Multiple Recurrences? How can this even work?

Beats me. I don't think even Wilhelm knows how it's possible.

Seriously though, if that whole crap is true, Wilhelm? You can work for that guy?

It's not something I enjoy doing. I know his orders are for the greater good, but a lot of the time, it does feel more like the lesser of two evils. Still, it's not like I can just abandon my position and hope for the best.

No kidding the lesser of two evils. You said you did that to protect Shion? I'll just assume you wouldn't lie so lemme tell you, you ain't going to protect Shion as long as you work for him and bear that Testament mantle.

*His hand clenches around the edge of his cape, an angry but pained look on his face.*

You think I don't know by now that I'm going to end up forced to do things that will hurt her?! But think about the alternative! If I hadn't become a Testament, Wilhelm wouldn't be one short. Kevin would have died and become one instead. At least this way, I can cause the things that are going to happen one way or another as gently as possible.

Oh yeah? And what kind of things will you do differently from Kevin? Rather than stand next to Wilhelm and watch as he tortures Shion, you will torture her yourself?!

That's sick Allen and you know it! Yeah, Testaments work for the greater good but the end can't always justify the means!

What-of course not! If he ever tried to do that, I'd stop him even if meant I'd die for good! I can't prevent all of her pain, but I would never stand by and let her suffer needlessly!

And you think I don't know that there's a point where the end just isn't worth it anymore? But if Zarathustra doesn't activate, or if mankind doesn't accept the responsibility of the universe's future for itself, then what the Administrators are claiming will actually happen. If you were in my position, would you really let everyone die later so a few could live or avoid unpleasant truths now?

Then just know that down the line, your boss has done that to her! Or rather if you come from another point in time as you said, he will.

The truth? I don't know what I'd do in your place, but I think I'd try and look for another path. Do you think we want the world to end? We accepted responsibility. You speak about avoiding unpleasant truths, but what is the reccurence if not a mean to avoid facing reality?

In that case, I'm going to have to have a talk with him, but that has nothing to do with the choices I've made.

Do you think I like the idea of Recurrence? To be honest, I'd be happier if humanity did reject it to try to find their own way! But if you know about it, you should also know what would happen if the mankind isn't ready to handle that responsibility but the option isn't there. Even if its fate is to be rejected, Recurrence needs to be an option.

Well than you can be happy because we did reject it! And guess who's the one who made Shion chose to reject it? You did. Allen, it's not your destiny to be a Testament!

I can see your point, but I don't think the reccurence was a good idea from the start! You say what if humanity isn't ready, but then why rather than work on the reccurence Wilhelm didn't work on bettering humanity during all that time? It's Wilhelm who plotted for Abel's Ark appearance and all that crap! Why speeding up the process to the end?
